Since you mentioned you wanted to do this the easiest way possible, get a 50' or 100' patch cord, and connect an MDI (uplink) port on one of your hubs to a MDIX (regular) on the other. If you don't have an MDI port, then you have a couple of options: 1) If one of your hubs has an AUI port (db15, like a PC game port), just get a transceiver. 2) Make the patch cord into a crossover by cutting off one end and putting on a new plug with a different wire order.
